Palm oil mill effluent (POME) is a massive problem to the environment, primarily waterway as it contains a considerable range of pollutants. Therefore, while enjoying the high revenue from palm oil industry, the palm oil industry responsibility towards the POME treatment must be taken into consideration. Along with the development of sustainable engineering concept, many researchers have focused on inventing a system that does not compromise the natural environment or the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using integrated biofilm treatment/membrane filtration process in producing recyclable and reusable water by manipulating the biofilm carrier type and the biofilm treatment HRT. The combined system of biofilm and membrane had delivered 98.6, 99.98, 97.5, 100, and 99.87% of COD, Turbidity, MLSS, TSS, and ammoniacal nitrogen removal, respectively. The produced permeate from aerobic POME remediation by biofilm/ membrane filtration system meets the III and IV class of the National Water Quality standards of Malaysia for water supply (Extensive treatment is required), and fishery (livestock drinking) purpose.

The development of the palm oil industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly, including the increasing number of palm oil processing factories and their liquid waste which has an impact on increasing the amount of greenhouse gases through methane gas. This research was conducted to determine the strategy in utilizing the effluent palm oil mill as a sustainable energy source in the palm oil mill of PT. MSSP of Siak Regency. Utilization of palm oil mill effluent as biogas fuel is carried out using covered lagoon reactor pond technology and serves to reduce the emission value of 1,365.90 tons of CH4 during 2019 and to function in economic efficiency from the use of sustainable energy or biogas for companies by Rp. 8,109,598,450 and socially functioning for employees and the community around PT. MSSP is a positive perception, both in lightening the work of employees and reducing the will in community settlements. The strategy carried out in the utilization of palm oil mill effluent as a sustainable energy source at PT. MSSP aims at good and proper management and application. The strategy was formulated in the SWOT analysis by compiling strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the application of the utilization of palm oil mill effluent as a sustainable energy source.

Zero-emission technology for palm oil mill effluent (POME) has led to a breakthrough in the palm oil industry in relation to the goal of sustainable development. However, there are limited resources on how this technology has affected the bacterial community in the receiving river that has previously been polluted with POME final discharge. Thus, the current study assessed the recoverability of the unexplored bacterial community in the receiving water of a constructed river water system post-zero emission of POME final discharge. An artificial river water system was constructed in this study, where the viability status and the composition of the bacterial community were assessed for 15 days using a flow cytometry-based assay and high-throughput sequencing by Illumina MiSeq, respectively. The zero-emission of POME final discharge reduced not only the physicochemical properties and nutrient contents of the receiving water, but also the bacterial cells’ viability from 40.3% to 24.5% and shifted the high nucleic acid (HNA) to low nucleic acid (LNA) content (38.7% to 34.5%). The proposed POME bacterial indicators, Alcaligenaceae and Chromatiaceae were not detectable in the rainwater (control) but were detected in the artificial river water system after the introduction of POME final discharge at the compositions of 1.0–1.3% and 2.2–5.1%, respectively. The implementation of a zero-emission system decreased the composition of Chromatiaceae from 2.2% on day 8 until it was undetectable on day 15, while Alcaligenaceae was continuously reduced from 1.2% to 0.9% within that similar time frame. As indicated by principal coordinate (PCO) analysis, the reductions in biological oxygen demand (BOD5) would further diminish the compositions of these bioindicators. The zero-emission of POME final discharge has demonstrated its efficacy, not only in reducing the polluting properties, but also in the bacterial biodiversity rebound in the affected water system.

Palm oil is one of the main commodities that cultivated in Indonesia as the biggest palm oil producer. One of the main problems in palm oil industry is the difficulty to degradate the palm oil mill effluent (POME) due to the high quantity and content of COD and BOD. In physico-chemical, POME can be processed using membrane filtration technology. Chitosan is one of the most widely used material forproducing membrane filtration. Composite of Chitosan-PVA-PEG is a highly mixture absorbent, which possibly can be used as a membrane in filtration process of POME. The experiment was started with the production of composite membrane, and then filtration application using cross-flow reactor system. The variables of this experiment were chitosan and PVA ratio (3:7, 4:5, 1:1, 6:4 and 7:3 (v/v)), and stirring speed (100 rpm and 300 rpm). The reactor test was conducted for 50 minutes and permeate were taken every 10 minutes. Filtration output parameters that were analyzed flux, COD and BOD. The result showed that the highest flux values in the variation of the stirring speed of 100 rpm and 300 rpm were 40.20 L/m2.hr and 27.15 L/m2.hr, respectively. The highest rejection values of COD and BOD were obtained in membrane ratio variation of 1:1 (v/v) and stirring speed of 300 rpm, which are 97.24% and 97.60%, respectitively.

Abstract Palm oil mill effluent (POME) has become a serious problem for the oil palm industries because of its high organic contents and other contaminant formation that results in dark colour, turbid and unpleasant odour. In the conventional treatment of POME used in Malaysia, treated POME can still pollute receiving water bodies as colour is one of the major contaminants that is not completely removed. Adsorption is a promising technique for addressing this problem, with a large range of adsorbents to choose from. It works by adhering the pollutants on to the high porous surface area of adsorbent. However, the high cost of coal-based AC that is commonly used can be the limiting factor for its wider application in palm oil industry. Therefore, this work looks into resource recovery (i.e., use of waste stream) from plantation as precursor of AC synthesis to treat its own waste from the palm oil mill. Hence, the suitability of oil palm trunk (OPT) as feedstock for AC application in POME colour removal in the mill is investigated. Experimental run at the as-synthesis OPT-derived AC was performed for validation via POME adsorption test. The result shows that the OPT-derived AC produced can remove the organic pollutants and colour of POME at the dosage of 15% w v−1 within 48 hours.
